HP Elite Slice is your stylish compact PC that’s modular

Daniel Morial

Modularity is not exactly new for PCs since you can make your own from available parts in the market. But, if HP will do it their way, this is their frontline bet.

The HP Elite Slice is a stackable compact PC. It’s like the Mac Mini before but with way more possibilities. It’s designed for both home and office use with a processor up to 6th Gen Intel Core i7 and Windows 10 Pro. You can connect your displays, keyboards, and mice to the PC through the two USB 3.1 Type-C ports, two USB 2.0, DisplayPort, and HDMI ports. There’s also the good old ethernet jack, 3.5mm combo jack, and dual mics onboard. An optional fingerprint sensor is also available.

As for the modularity, each module connects to another via what they call HP Slice Connector that’s placed at the bottom. From there, you can stack your way up. At launch, you can choose to add an audio module, an optical disk drive, and the Collaboration Cover from HP for Skyping. By next year, HP will offer wireless charging cover so you’ll just have to place your compatible device on top of the Slice to charge it while you work with your PC.

Available modules are still limited for now although like with other modular devices, it will eventually have accessories to play with. Anyhow, the HP Elite Slice is a piece of hardware you’d want to place on your table.

Pricing and availability are yet to be announced.

HP intros Sure View, aims to keep prying eyes away

Kevin Bruce Francisco

It happens to most of us. We see someone at a cafe working on a laptop and we couldn’t help but glance on what that person is doing or browsing. Although we really don’t mean to pry, it’s just something we tend to do once in a while.

This is what HP aims to avoid. With their Sure View screens, only the user could see what’s on the display for better privacy and security reasons.

prying-eyes

The Sure View feature is currently being offered on the HP EliteBook 1040 and EliteBook 840. It only requires a push of a button (F2 on the keyboard) and the screen will switch from wide-angle mode to private mode.

It’s explained by the source as the off-axis visibility on the device is kept on the down low while the on-axis visibility just drops a little. The result, as we’ve mentioned, is to avoid other people from snooping in on the email you’re typing.

3M contributed in making this a possibility by embedding the Sure View filter into the screen itself. By doing so, the display is a lot dimmer when viewed from the sides. This is indeed pretty useful, although it’s still just available with TN style screens.

This is indeed pretty useful, although it’s still just available with twisted nematic (TN) style screens. These, in general, are used in cheaper laptops since higher-end models employ in-plane switching (IPS) displays with good viewing angles.

HP says that they’re working on bringing this privacy feature to IPS displays as well in the near future.

What do you think of this technology? Would it make you consider getting those laptops for better privacy in public?
